#grimm rants ^.^

[studiogrimm810]

im gonna sob, look at him, guys. look at his face and pout and UGHHH,, i love sam winchester candid stills. shit gets me so imaginative.

like picture it- you’re right next to him, walking in on whatever scene is before you two and he leans over to ask what the fuck is going on but his eyes remain on the scene. maybe he even steps an extra foot or two in front of you to get a better look and now his shoulders silhouette your view

OR MAYBE- this is more if a sad, grieving kind of look (idk what scene this is but its from s3e1) and his first thought is your reaction to the images before you. he looks over at you to make sure you’re okay but his gun stays raised in case anything threatens either of you. his heart aches as a face similar to his paints your pretty features and his protectiveness flares up…

GOOOOD I NEED THIS MAN

Youre telling me Dream got that Apple White treatment where they did nothing wrong (in apple's case, actively went through really good character development) and are still seen as inherently wrongful, blaming a six year old and a teenager for all the bad events in their stories

Both of them were ACTIVELY manipulated and sheltered by adults in their lives and try their absolute best to help people out of pure selflessness.

Dream doesn't need to apologize, he did absolutely nothing wrong, he was naive and trusted his brother to tell the truth about his injuries and was busy all day helping people- such evil incarnate. Headcannoning differently or having an AU that differs is fully fine to me, it's just people who actively believe that Dream had any fault in the canon events that piss me off to no end

Would you look at that! This isn't to say Passive was at fault either, literally every action can be justified by 'he was six'- they weren't the most emotionally mature, because they were six. They weren't the most perceptive of each other's pain- because they were six. They wouldn't have been able to do anything about it if they knew, because theyre were six.

Apple ALREADY apologized- I'm sorry you think Dragons Games took that away but it absolutely didn't, she was being blackmailed and manipulated during her vulnerable moments by the literal most evil person imaginable, literally shut up sorry you cant forgive a teenager for making bad decisions when having her worldview shattered, i am not going to bother looking for screenshots of this because it would be every second of every movie and Apple centric episode go rewatch those if you'd like proof, maybe watch it with your eyes open this time around

[Insert obligatory apple tree and apple white link joke here]

Mythic Quest have this inevitable use of backstory that makes us love their characters so deeply because they give us no deep lore about anyone at any given moment except for their specific backstory/trauma based episode.

E.g. We perceived Brad as a cold, manipulative, sociopathic, closed off guy. His abusive brother turns up for 8 hours and he loses his shit so much it was the best acting Danny Pudi’s ever portrayed in his goddamn life.

We see C.W as a drunk, old, infamous writer - well past his sell buy date - until we see him in his youth. The struggles he entailed as an aspiring novelist, the way his mind used to work, the visions he saw that no one else understood.

We see Poppy and Ian as narcissistic, elitist creatives, always at each other’s throats. Then we see them as vulnerable children. Kids who had to work to get to where they are. Fighting so many hardships to find each other and to have a kindred spirit for once in their lives.

We see David as a completely open book. An executive producer who gets walked all over and tries to see the best in everyone. A man who’s so optimistic despite the fact he’s a child of divorce, had a drunk, abusive father, and had a traumatic divorce himself.

We’re so blind-sighted by the fact he’s also a suicidal depressive who drinks a bottle of wine every night to help him get to sleep because everyone else’s trauma is more transparent than his.

Which says a lot - considering we know next to nothing about the actual lives of these characters and what their exterior relationships to the company look like in reality.

It’s a hyperbolic realisation about coworker relationships, which is a stunning way to portray a TV show about the people who produce a fantasy role playing video game.

We don’t see what happens to David after a shitty day at the office. We have no idea where Jo lives. Does she live with her parents, or alone, with a partner? Brad?! That man is so ambiguous he could live in a junkyard for all we knew! Not that he would.

Their lives are kept so under wraps that we can’t perceive them in any other light other than their work personas a lot of the time. Which makes the idea of backstory so much more impactful.

I just read Snow for Christmas, the snowbaz short story in Scattered Showers by Rainbow Rowell, and of my gosh it’s so cute!

Spoilers below if you haven’t read it or the entire main trilogy yet!

I loved reading every moment of the story, especially the scenes with Baz and his younger siblings because that part of his life wasn’t in the main trilogy a lot, so it was nice reading about it.

I also loved the mention of Simon’s relationship with Lady Salisbury, and even though she didn’t appear in the story, it’s still so wholesome and happy that she’s a part of Simon’s life now, and that Simon is surrounded by people who love him unconditionally.

[ohohnoo]

I dont like adalinds development. I think she was fantastic as a villain/antagonist in the first season and i always hated how much of a martir (maybe thats not exactly the word) she became later on.

Also that she and nick ended up together???? And wasnt there a literal SA scene???

Adalind should have stayed as a villain. God forbid a girl has hobbies. I loved how much of a hater she was.

And juliette, i miss season 1 juliette so so much.

Its dumb but i always choose to think grimm only has 3 seasons 😣

[sunrisewithmist]

Not gonna lie, my fav character is Baz like it's impossible for him not be my favourite out of them all

[imobsessed123]

puckabrina

(if you can't tell i'm a bit obsessed with them right now)

Yes yes yes yes yes they’re absolute perfection

They’re from a children’s book so my expectations were low but they are SO PERFECT

Like the first kiss?? Yeah she punched him afterwards but imo it’s because she was so mad that she actually liked the kiss

and the way puck was so nonchalant about them getting married (after he got over the initial shock ofc) he just would casually mention it and omg it was so adorable (I know he probably did it to annoy her but still)

I think they’re an absolutely adorable version of enemies to lovers cause you see two people who barely trust anyone start to trust each other with their lives and omg it’s just so perfect

Why is it that trouble always feels like it comes in waves. And why the fuck is it so exhausting.

Rant below cut.

Yesterday was a mess. Got nothing that I planned to do done, bc instead I vegged to a video game all day and then in the evening got fed up with how messy the downstairs was and basically threw a cleaning fit. Especially in regards to all the empty cat food cans that we've been collecting that we have to wash out in order to recycle.

We use the dishwasher to do the cleaning, just put some cooling racks down to prevent cans and lids from escaping the baskets and then run the Speed60 cycle, boom, clean cans.

Well, we gotta pull the labels off (easy, they're only glued on in one spot) but I cannot stress enough exactly how MANY cans we've collected bc both my partner and I have ADHD and Peeling Labels Off Is Boring. And on top of that it feels like we've squirreled away boxes of dirty cans all over the house, so collecting them all took like twenty minutes alone, and then another two hours for both of us to prep them. And then toss them in the dishwasher and go! Except we have so many that we need multiple runs.

Except that on the second run, the dishwasher apparently Errored and left grody water in the basin instead of draining. Which. Terrifying! What if we just broke our fucking dishwasher at 10pm on a Friday. With fucking CAT FOOD CANS.

So cue like.. thirty minutes of debate and internet research and then me going "you know what, fuck it, let's run a cycle with nothing in the dishwasher and see if that clears the issue" and it DID. But by the time that was resolved it was almost midnight.

And then, because we'd been prepping the cans in the living room, the floor was a mess bc of bits of dried cat food etc. so we were like, this is fine, we have a goddamn Roomba for a reason, lets clean up the rest of the living room ((LIKE WE HADN'T BEEN FOR MONTHS BC AGAIN, ADHD)) and run the roomba, problem solved.

Except trying to run the roomba resulted in it going three feet and then dying with a specific error demanding we replace the filter. Okay then, filter replaced, try again. Same issue. I bitch at partner abt the replacement rollers he put it in (accidentally bought replacements for a different model, so EVER so slightly the wrong size but havok was CERTAIN they'd work, I was less certain) so we swapped them for actual version. Same issue. Pull the bin out and examine area. Wipe entire area down with damp paper towel in case it's a sealing issue ((lots of fine particulate dust around various seals)) try again, same issue.

At this point it's midnight thirty and we're both tired and cranky, so we give up. Problem is likely in the fan itself needing some TLC, havok decides to deal with it in the morning.

Go to bed. Get up this morning. Both of us decide Fuck It, gaming time to destress.

Power goes out. Flickers back on. Goes out again. Flickers back on. Goes out. Long exhale. Comes back on. Stays on finally. Why? FUCK KNOWS! it's not yet hot enough to be a heat related power outage, so SHRUG EMOJI I GUESS

Except both of us were playing on Not Laptops (I was on a desktop, havok was playing a GBA title on the GameCube bc he just got that working last night) so now both of us have lost our progress and are both confused and concerned. But fine, whatever. It's back now and doesn't seem like it'll go out again ((but who knows!! It just might!!))

So havok goes to take the Roomba apart to look at its guts and I try to go back to my game. Except, my computer suddenly doesn't have internet. Why. Grrr

Cue me asking havok, and then the both of us fucking around with the Internet Over Powerline device that gives me Internet upstairs, and NOTHING WORKING. Until havok finally realizes that something is fucky with the big switch we have in the basement that commands the entire house. An entire FUCKING HOUR of trying to figure out why everything LOOKED like it should be working but wasn't. The goddamn switch in the basement failed somehow. Magically. Fuck knows how! It's supposed to have a backup firmware but apparently both copies failed. Or maybe one had silently failed previously and havok didn't notice! WHO THE FUCK KNOWS.

It's fine tho, it's fine. Havok had a second Giant Switch bc he accidentally bought two instead of one when he ordered the first. Just swapped the new one in and magically internet again.

Except it's now noon, I have done Jack Shit except try to troubleshoot internet, havok has figured out we have to replace the part in the Roomba (still cheaper than a new Roomba) and now I'm once again exhausted despite waking up three hours ago.

AUGH.

[donatelloisbackbaby]

Do any of you want to hear about my Simon Snow SDV AU?

[thepotatopixie]

Let's look through some weird-ass fairytales.

Hi, I'm the Potato Pixie, and I like fairytales. One day, I'd like to make comic adaptations of some of the weirder ones, or some well-known ones but the original versions, cause those get weird as hell.

I'm specifically going off from this book, a Barnes and Noble exclusive edition that I got for Christmas in 2015, but the inside specifically lists this as the Margaret Hunts translation from 1884.

So, I'm going to tell you all the broad strokes of the story, any important details, provide my shitty commentary, and how it could possibly be adjusted to a short comic.

My goal is to, when I can, make the characters more human, or give them more character. When I do character designs, and I'll post those as well, give traits and characteristics that aren't conventionally attractive.

Anyways, we're starting with the Frog King!

It's the first one in the book, and I'm interested in adapting it, so we'll go with that!

So it starts with the unnamed Princess tossing a gold ball, which is her favorite plaything, by a well.

Eventually, she tosses it and it falls in the well, and it's so deep she can't see the bottom or her ball.

She cries so much that the stones would show pity, (or maybe she thinks they would, this version very much has spoiled brat vibes) that soon a talking frog comes out of the well and asks her what's wrong. The princess though disgusted at the talking Frog, tells him about the ball, and he offers to get it for her, if she agrees to take the Frog back to her castle, and let the Frog eat with her, play with her and sleep in her bed with her.

The Princess fully intending to ditch the Frog agrees, and as she gets her ball she runs off, and frog croaking and yelling for her

At the castle, the Princess and the King are eating until they hear a knock at the door, and the king questions whoever it could be as the princess is freaked out knowing it's the Frog, and after said Frog asks her if she doesn't remember the agreement they had, the King tells the Princess that she has to keep her promise, and she begrudgingly picks thr Frog up and takes him to the table, to which he seemingly eats off her plate with ease, and she choking down every bite. (Like man that'd gross me out too, the princess is kinda a bitch but like, same)

Eventually, the Frog decides he's full and wants to go to sleep, and the Princess carries the Frog with two fingers by his leg up the stairs. When the Frog insists upon being carried up onto her bed, she gets so angry she takes the Frog and THROWS HIM AGAINST THE WALL.

Nah, no romance, no character development of like a spoiled brat learning to be nice, fucking YEETS the slimy bitch to the wall.

The weirdest part is, THATS WHAT TURNS HIM BACK INTO A PRINCE??? I have the whole scene planned in my head, bitch goes splat, slides down, the bottom half of the shot is like covered by the bed in the foreground and there's like a delayed POOF and then his gets up as a human holding his head.

Anyways, the Frog King (we're still gonna call him Frog) tells the Princess that a witch had cast a spell onto him and no one but her had taken him from the well (So I guess it was the well that was keeping him a frog?? But the Princess didn't do shit, she ran off!! So idk)

And then in the morning as mentioned, a carriage of white horses rolls up, and weirdly the only Named character, the servant Faithful Henry is said that he was so unhappy that his master was turned into a Frog, that three iron bands were laid upon his heart, lest it should burst from sadness.

They get in the carriage, and the Kings son (so like, it's not mentioned at all before that the Frog King has a son, neither the princesses father, and only the princess and the Frog King are described to get in the carriage. They mention that because the Princess agrees to be the Frogs companion and playmate, and that by her fathers will is now her husband, so where did the son come from? They go to the kingdom the next morning, so idk)

The Son thinks the carriage is breaking, but Faithful Henry says it's only the bands upon his heart bursting with joy and happiness that his master has returned.

The End

And that's it!! It's so weird, but I kinda like the lack of romance. And the Princess fucking Yeeting the Frog is great lmao

Also the servant Henry is giving Forbidden Lover vibes? Like how the hell is this dude THAT HAPPY that King is back? And what's up with the random Kings Son??

How do we Adapt this?

So keeping as much elements from the original tale as possible, here's what I got.

The Princess is spoiled, maybe she's got texture issues so she hates slimy things? Eh maybe not, but I am getting "POV The Girl You Think Is Mean Is Really Just A Girls Girl kinda vibes? Maybe I've just been watching thise too much.

Anyways, I'm thinking, take out the Kings son at the end, cause he serves no purpose and only shows up at the tail end, and Princess becomes the Fake Wife of the Frog King so he can be with his servant lover and the Princess can live on splendor or some shit.

[studiogrimm810]

kinda fucking kills me that both mary and jess had a caesarean-like scar ripped open during their deaths which only hammers in how sam is an abomination and how his birth alone can be seen as the cause of their deaths

the guilt this man must carry keeps me up some nights

[ohanahoku-ao3]

Currently rewatching Grimm, and I am once again struck by the fact that in s03e14 (where Wu sees the Aswang), Nick and Hank don't tell Wu about the Wesen. It never ceases to make me angry. Hank KNOWS how hard the transition was, and he's good friends with Wu, and he just follows Nick's lead? So what if he's a Grimm? He made the wrong call not telling Hank, and Hank thought he was going insane, but he still let's Nick decide? Hank had some really good points on why they should tell Wu, and I really think he was in the right mindset to be told. And why didn't Nick see that? Wu told them about his 'crazy' theory, he was obviously ready to start questioning things, and after he refrained from telling Hank and saw how badly it messed with him, you'd think he'd have better judgement this time around. But he just refuses to address it at all. The only redeeming thing is that he didn't tell Wu that he didn't see it like he had with Hank. At least he focused Wu on his friend instead of outright lying, but even so!

I am also disappointed that there is so little fanfiction that focuses on Wu, especially from this episode. I went looking for a Fix-it Fic after watching this episode, and NADA, ZIP, ZERO! Absolutely no fics for it that I could find. So now I need to write one, because seriously, how has no one else done it yet? This fandom needs more writers. Come join us, we have pie! (Courtesy of Bud's wife!)

[godlygivenanxiety]

A legit horde of zombies to be treated in Portland, a fucking royal family playing them for fools not to mention the person taking Nick has a spit-toxin that will drive kehrseite and wesen mad, but Monroe's first and foremost priority is getting to Nick wherever the fuck he is, in whatever capacity he can, with the help of whomever's on board to help— I'm sorry, am I supposed not to consider this beyond loyal friendship and way into the realms of devotion considering the person Monroe has been as a wieder? You've gotta be shitting me.

It's one thing for Monroe to include himself into Laufer VS. Verrat business indirectly, even his heartfelt and spiteful speech about not caring about the status quo doesn't say as much as this because holy fuck, he wants to insert himself in the center of the situation because Nick's in danger. Full ready to 'make some calls' and LEAVE ON SOME PLANE TO GO AND FIND NICK, PLANS MADE AS THEY MOVE. GOD.

I'm so unwell, send help.

[theatre-heathen]

Okay but but hear me out, what kind of ritual or sacrifice do I have to make to whatever entity that allowed for Good Omens S2, RWRB, Heartstopper S2 AND young royals S3 to be a thing to negotiate the next tragic and chaotic pairing to be one Simon Oliver Snow and one Tyrannus Basilton Grimm-Pitch on our screens?? Bc… pretty pretty pretty pleaaaaase. Its beyond a want it’s a cosmic need.

Also ask me to explain things more in any of my posts because it’s usually ramblings and I’m aware I can be confusing.

[grimm-reapz]

Just finished a Japanese speaking test and i started talking about anime for a good solid 2 mins, so now i know for next time to translate my Ninjago rants so i can just talk about that the whole time.
